Dorm Fire Demonstration

During National Fire Prevention Week, we built a model dorm room in front of the Russell
House and burned it to show how fire hazards can quickly turn deadly. The fully-equipped
room included a bed, dresser and other furniture along with several common fire hazards.

Students had the chance to search for and identify the fire hazards before Columbia
firefighters set the room on fire. The room was completely engulfed in just over one
minute.

Watch the 360° video and use your mouse to move around the scene to experience the fire, from ignition
to being extinguished.
